1746 Amelia County Tithables For John Perdue, Sr and son, John, Jr.
John Perdue, Sr and his son, John, Jr can be located in the first column, just barely visible in the eleventh line from the top, as Jno Perdue Snr and Jno Perdue Jnr, in Edward Booker's 1746 tithables' list on Deep Creek in Amelia County.
The 1745 tithables list for the senior John is not available. It is unknown if son, John Jr. was listed in his father's household that year.
1729 is reckoned as the birth year of John, Jr. having been born no later than June 10, 1730. Given that his brother, Joseph, first shown in his father's 1750 tithables, having been born no later than October 1733 as confirmed by records of his draft into the Seventh Virginia Regiment in October 1756 at the age of 23, and given that his brother, William, first shown in his father's tithables' list in 1748, born between 11June 1731 and 10 June 1732, and based on the probability that there were the usual two years between the births of the eldest children, John, Jr's birth year is calculated to more likely be 1729.
Most of the Amelia County tithables lists are available for the years from 1736 through 1764 and as I locate jpeg images they will be added as I find them.
Genealogy is never done; it is always a work in progress!
